Pros: the location, service, public areas settings and food

Cons: standard rooms poorly furnished with low quality craftmanship

Pros: the service was perfect. Room and bathroom is beautifull.

Cons: swimming pool is small and the sauna is at another level. and no smoking area for smokers.

Pros: The pool and the service.

Pros: Friendly and very professional staff. Excellent quality of food. The Straits Club on the 4th Floor, with a library section

Pros: I liked looking at the hotel from a distance more than I enjoyed staying there.

Cons: Not only was the hotel and all amenities extremely overpriced, but it was way too crowded. You cannot get the experience with all the crowds. Your constantly waiting in line for everything! Including checking in, the pool, restaurants, etc. Very surprised that it did not meet my expectations.

Pros: Hotel, waterfront location, and various shops, food court. Excellent experiences and specialty foods being on site.

Cons: Price could be better. Availability of promotional specials would be mice.

Pros: Location next to botanical gardens.

Cons: Passport was stolen by a staff member. Do not leave valuables out under any circumstances. Poor security.

Pros: The rooms were absolutely amazing, spacious and very clean. The hotel itself was exceptionally cleaned. I’m in the hotel industry and have been for quite some time, actually over 17 years, So I pay close attention to how well the hotel is maintained and how well it is kept clean. 5 stars in that department.

Cons: The gym. For a hotel of this caliber and the size, the gym was a huge disappointment.

Pros: Room with the view

Cons: Book months ahead for three. When I got there. Two twin and push in a rolling bed. Room too small for accommodation

Cons: Great service and beautiful view!

Pros: Overall I loved my room. Room service was fast and food was delicious! Someone actually came to my room to give me a full “how to” on everything in the room and showed me where everything was. Pool+View was amazing both from the top floor and my view. I loved how the curtains open when you enter the room to the WOW city view. Definitely worth my money and I’d do it again next chance I get.

Cons: One thing I didn’t like was the long elevator wait times but that’s something I can easily get over because the positive outweighs the negative by a extremely wide margin.

Pros: The infinity pool is awesome.

Cons: Check out rush is poorly managed. Starting from waiting for elevators.

Pros: They exceeded our expectations with our room, the pool is amazing and they helped us celebrate our anniversary

Cons: Food is very expensive

Pros: Infinity pool is amazing free light show

Pros: What a huge and exquisite hotel. Excellent service. Love the pool area with jazz music. Great atmosphere. The Sweet Shop has tasty sandwiches and treats. Love the mall connection with the many high-end stores. Fireworks were amazing. Enjoyed the art museum as well.

Pros: It is a truely magnificent architecturally designed hotel.

Cons: Because it is such a big hotel there are often queues for everything.

Pros: Location, layout and hotel facilities along with the staff are first class. Room had fantastic harbour/city views.

Cons: It took hotel staff 1.5hours to actually prepare me a room despite a booking.com reservation and prepayment in full for the room - however compensation was given with $150 complimentary food/drink

Pros: The pool and the view from our room

Cons: nothing

Pros: Only the view and nothing else !

Cons: not personal, too crowded. You can not unwind in this hotel. You have the feeling you are in a big train-station or airport. Long queue in the morning to be seated at the breakfast area. Certainly not for business travelers.

Pros: The pool area on top of the building

Cons: My wife and I stayed in room 685 and the airconditioning unit was rattling like crazy (we turned the unit off as it was making so much noise.). We only stayed for one night and we arrived late and tired, so we did not complain then. I did mention it to the person who was helping us check out.

Pros: very nice skypark in 57 floor, we can swim and enjoy singapore view. Also nice casino.

Pros: The room was very spacious with a lovely toilet. Nice view from our hotel room and the skypark.

Cons: Firstly, we were assigned to the wrong room, secondly, when we request to upgrage our room as we need a bath tub, we were told to wait for 10 mins but we ended up waiting for almost half an hour. And thirdly, as it's a bday celebration, we bought a cake along with us, later did we realise tt there is not enough space for us to keep even a small cake in the fridge, we seek the hotel staff for help but were told that they do not have chiller to help us keep the cake. It would be actually better if at such sitution, they could help.

Pros: Location was great the bed was comfy and very nice

Pros: I like the bed. I think it was better than Marriott’s in terms of comfort. I also like that it’s right by city hall MRT. The location is great.

Cons: From the beginning, I should have set low standards. I asked for a room in the high level. The reception happily announced that he found one - a room at level 15. I never heard level 15 classified as an upper floor. But I was tired after 1.5 days of traveling. The next day, HVAC maintenance came to clean the vent - unannounced. Just knocked and said - we have to clean the vent. No forward notice from the hotel. The room was not very clean. There was mildew in the sink and the towels weren’t arranged properly. The sink stopper was off, the bathtub stop was broken and the water kept gushing out when you shower. The bathroom light was worst. It was like being in a mine, with some spots lit and others dimmed. Definitely not a place to get ready for a date for. The next day, housekeeping did not come. They said there was a privacy notice. I never saw a privacy notice. When I got in at 6pm, they rushed to expedite the cleaning, and it was done haphazardly. For the price you pay per night here, I think you’ll be better off at Fullerton, Shangri-La or Marina Bay Sands.

Cons: Communicated with staff in advance for several requests and non were noted or communicated to staff. The excuse was booking was made through external agent hence message didn’t come through even though I had followed up with hotel internal staff (who confirmed by email) about the request NOT the external agent.

Pros: Very friendly staff

Cons: The lift was a bit slow

Pros: -Excellent gym - relaxing pool area with restaurant - bed was comfortable and the linen was crisp and clean

Cons: - Room was large and nice but felt dated - At checkin, the clerk attempted to up-sell the breakfast and Internet package for $100 per night. Internet should be included in the price I paid, especially as I chose this hotel based on that.

Pros: The induction process of this hotel is all around the customer

Cons: Everything

Pros: Loved the location - perfect to walk everywhere and a shopping complex underneath meant everything was easy. Travelling with a 1 year old this was a great benefit for us. We were even offered a room upgrade for a very small extra fee (about £20 a night before tax) so took it and it was well worth it!

Cons: Can't complain about anything - loved our stay there.

Pros: Bfast at Prego

Cons: The room was a bit damp and floor lamp is switching on/off by itself (annoying during the eve)

Pros: Been staying here for years - clean, convenient, comfortable

Cons: Always too expensive - hotels in Singapore are too expensive

Pros: The hotel is ideally located for both shopping and sightseeing and is easy to reach from Changi airport using the MRT link.

Cons: The hotel was over priced and the exeuctive lounge didn't open for breakfast particularly early.

Pros: Hotel staff was wery friendly

Cons: 1. Mini-bar was empty 2. Because of the club on the first floor there were too much people near the entrance, some of them were really drunk.... that was not nice

Pros: convenient location, considerate service

Cons: the price is a little bit higher.

Pros: The attentiveness of the staff and the welcome one receives on arrival.

Pros: harbour view

Cons: no toothbrush and toothpaste provide until i ask for them

Cons: I think it is the only hotel in the world where you have to pay for use of the gym!! really ridiculous, 25 USD!!!

Pros: View from our room

Cons: Several problems with facilities in our room - running toilet, bar frig did not work (both fixed before departure) in room safe broken and not fixed before departure. Club room not ready when we arrived, this was OK as we arrived early but we were only given access to standard hospitality room and not club lounge facilities.

Pros: Staff. They offered us membership which entitled us for complimentary cabled internet access. Staff of Parkroyal on Beach Road was very helpful as well.

Cons: No complimentary WIFI connectivity for Parkroyal guests, not even in lounge area.

Pros: pool

Cons: i'm not used to the air-con being on all the time, and couldn't figure out how to turn it off.

Pros: I love the rooms: very spacious and elegant. Nice "warm" lights. Very nice bathroom and "rain-like" shower. Nice view from the very large window. Great swimming pool. Very nice and efficient staff.

Pros: excellent roof top swimming pool, luxury decor, good central location and efficient staff

Cons: I was keen to make payment on my debit card. The hotel insisted on only using credit cards for a deposit and then charged my credit card rather than my debit despite me asking them not to.

Pros: Lovely clean room, food of good quality (especially the excellent Sichuan restaurant). Relaxing pool environment. Courteous staff.

Cons: None at all

Pros: no

Cons: Been subjected to some protection problems in Rest Room

Pros: It was near to my training center

Cons: The internet rate is so high 26 S$ while you can get it free from singtel

Pros: Located near to the business locality. The hotel is at a very strategic location. it is very convenient to walk around the area

Cons: The hotels air conditioning was too high. The carpets are old and there is dampness in the walkway. The Walkway I think smells of wood due to the dampness.

Pros: very helpful staff, clean and comfortable room, beautiful pool

Cons: we had a room on the rear side of the building, where we had no view (just a concrete wall)

Cons: A water leak in hall made carpet smell but it was being dealt with

Pros: Location

Cons: Everything else. Too pricey for what it is. Rooms feels and look old. 3stars most in my book.

Cons: Almost 1 hour to check in and no apologies. The bathroom door accidently locked and took 40 minutes to send someone. Also when we went for breakfast my partner was told no slippers permitted. As a lifetime platinum member of Starwood I would suggest management needs a complete overhaul of staff and learn common courtesy. All in all I would never refer anyone to this or any Mandarin property.

Pros: location and friendly staff

Cons: dual queen size beds would be ideal.

Pros: The location was excellent, in the heart of Orchard. And two staff -- Mr Suhaimi at the 5th Floor Reception and the older doorman -- were exceedingly polite and gracious. The staff at Chetterbox were also polite and prompt.

Cons: 1. Badly-managed ground floor reception and registration. We arrived at the ground floor lobby and lined up with a number of other people. Only to be told by the young executive who finally served us -- rudely & impatiently -- that this registration counter was only for corporate bookings and we should go up to the 5th floor for all other bookings. If you intend to segregate and discriminate bookings, then perhaps some clear signage and wayfinding would help? Perhaps recognising that he had been rather rude, the young man then said he would register us anyway. He couldn't find our booking, asked to see the confirmation email, and then couldn't seem to wait the one minute it took me to call it up on my phone. 2. Poor manners at the 5th floor reception We came back at 1.30 pm and went straight up to the 5th floor reception, as instructed, to collect our keys. Chaos as there were many waiting to check-in. I lined up at what I thought was the concierge counter to ask what I needed to do if I was simply looking to collect keys rather than do a full check-in, and was barked at by another impatient man at the [unlabelled] counter to the side of me. Thank goodness for an older gentleman, Mr Suhaimi, who stepped forward to answer my simple question, promptly issued the keys, and assured us that our bags would be in our room, which it was. Kudos to Mr Suhaimi for being so well-mannered in a sea of rude Mandarin employees. 3. Went to our room. The shower cubicle had ugly black electrical tape all around the bottom, presumably to stop some sort of leak. Cheap toiletries. Old, tired fittings that haven't been updated since the late 1990s. Flat, overused pillows. 4. Breakfast the next morning at Chatterbox was dismal. Overcooked noodles, cheap butter, tasteless eggs. And a very small selection of food items that couldn't be called a buffet. 5. Rude service again at check-out, even though we had nothing to pay for and it was a straightforward sign-out. Doesn't anyone ever smile at this hotel? All in all, not worth the price, and certainly not worth our patronage. Don't bother with the Mandarin Orchard, it's way past its prime. There are many other hotels in SG that welcome you with a smile, maintain a good environment and charge you far less.

Pros: The complimentary upgrade and the breakfast buffet. The room is spacious and the bed is quite big

Cons: Some guests did not adhere to the non smoking rules and it is really quite uncomfortable but overall is a comfortable stay for us.

Pros: Location Location Location Nice friendly staff rooms a bit larger than normal for this price

Cons: But warning the smoking floors were too much even for a smoker. The smell/smoke of kreteks (clove cigarettes) wafted into our room through the AC. So best to book a non smoking room.

Pros: the location.

Cons: the rooms are very tired, even at the exorbitant rate of sgd380++ a night! i think had we booked through the hotel direct, it would have been cheaper as well since the walk-in rate for a better room (premier) was only sgd20 dollars difference!

Pros: I think the service was excellent. From the time I checked in until I left. Even the housekeeping lady was pleasant and efficient.

Cons: No swimming pool for kids.

Pros: The City Centre location of the Hotel was great . The staff were very attentive and friendly .

Cons: There were no negative points

Pros: good location

Pros: Excellent service, especially Jimmy on the Meritus Club floor.

Pros: Convinience location

Pros: Central location, luxury design of the room and bath-room.

Pros: clean and silent

Cons: Internet connection price is expensive

Cons: Was in the Podium tower, on a floor which was the center of bickering couples or party animals or unruly children. Past stays in the main tower were better

Cons: For tourists we need more options to visit the country or islands ...

Pros: Good breakfast, with a multitude of choices. Rooms comfortable and quiet. Interesting location.

Cons: The air-conditioning, despite having a control panel in each room, had a mind of its own and tended to be too cold or too warm, irrespective of the temp and fan speed set on the panel - coupled with this, is the all too common practice of hotels putting a duvet on the bed, with no option of a top sheet or thinner blanket. A duvet would be more suited to a hotel room in the Arctic circle, rather than in a hotel located almost on the equator! The bathrooms, while adequate, are a bit on the small side and the elevators are slow and not up to the amount of passenger traffic.

Pros: Hilton always has a great product

Cons: Near Little India, mass started at 7a-3p of loud speaker chants that you could hear from your room. I wasn’t planning on being up at 7a on Sunday but had no choice. Very loud the entire morning.

Pros: Staff were efficient, friendly, & helpful.

Cons: Lacking bath towels everyday. Lacking tissue paper. Didn't have the option to request 2 double beds that's why what we requested were 2 twin beds since we were 3 people occupying the room.

Pros: The room was very clean. We stayed for one night only and didn't get to spend much time in the hotel.

Pros: I've stayed at all the other hotels at that particular location. Grand Copthorne is probably the best. It's not the cheapest - but it's the best value.

Cons: Nothing - the stay was very pleasant

Pros: Near to everywhere

Cons: Comfort

Pros: The staff were very polite, well-mannered and helpful. Rooms quite spacious and very clean. Hotel has excellent facilities for everyone. Felt very comfortable staying in this hotel and would have no hesitation in staying again.

Pros: use of swimming pool and the gym. hotel is in only 10minutes stroll to the quay side shoping area and the mrt station. If you coming from airport you may have to take a cab/shuttle bus to get to the hotel. or public transport to Quayside than walk from there.I found the shuttle bus or taxi easier. Hotel has shuttle bus running to orchard road every hour but the seats on this is first come first serve bases there may not be any seat left by the time bus comes to your hotel..

Cons: The internet wasnt free for the price per room and also the internet fee was exorbitant . SG$7/ 15min

Pros: everything was good we really enjoyed it.food,swimming pool,dining were very good.staff was really friendly.

Cons: they should not charge a fee for the tennis courts.first priority for tennis courts should be the hotel guest but these courts are all rented off to the outsiders.they shouldn't do that or don't put that they have tennis courts at all.we booked this hotel only because it had tennis courts.it was not available for the guests at all

Pros: Good hotel for a fair price. Nice breakfast buffet with a lot of options.Within walking distance to Clarke Quay.

Pros: Breakfast.

Cons: Room size is very small specifically the room on 25th floor allocated to me.

Pros: Meal and swimming pool

Pros: That the Gym is open 24 hrs

Cons: 1 that on the lobby there is only one restaurant, 2 location quite far from the center

Pros: The view of the waterfront was excellent

Cons: They should provide free internet in the rooms

Pros: Quality of breakfast
